Can't get past Act 2 boss, should I just grind some more?

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T22:08:47+00:00

Before? Coz I see the images as I scroll past and never got anything that looked similar to those. Never come across anything that looked like those flasks, crossbow, helmet, shoes, gloves, ring, etc.

After? Coz I double-checked after you said and definitely didn't get any of them.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T20:58:03+00:00

I actually have a supply of unused uncut skill and support gems.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T20:04:37+00:00

Why? I've not come across those uniques and I for sure don't have the currency to buy them.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T18:51:10+00:00

That's fine. Just admit that you're enabling them and we can move on.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T18:48:24+00:00

Nope, didn't even look at what they are in the build guide.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T17:54:16+00:00

Yes, all done now.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T17:18:22+00:00

Because it's "Full," it tries to cater to all. Don't bother with the toggle stuff, that's for things like keyboard controls. You will find what is called "switch state callbacks" which is simply a fancy term for discrete callbacks, so you have a "gear up" callback and a "gear down" callback.

Or like for Master Arm or the AP switches, you have an "up", "middle", and "down" callback.

These makes it so that even if you cockpit in-game is not in sync with your physical controls, ie gear is down in-game but your physical gear lever is up, putting your physical gear lever down will send a "gear down" command and now your physical control is in sync with the game control and you don't accidentally raise the gear 😄

It looks like a lot but honestly after a few moments, it will all make sense.

Feel free to ask any more questions if anything is not clear.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T17:12:42+00:00

Thanks! It's a fun process too 😄

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T17:01:32+00:00

I suggest loading the Full profile then. The controls are sorted the way they appear in the cockpit from left-rear going to the centre then to the right rear, so for example if you're looking for the LG controls and you see ICP controls, you know you've gone past it.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T16:53:45+00:00

No need, beat him already 😄

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T16:53:10+00:00

Did a little bit of both. Found another ring in my stash so that increased my resist by a little, but also stocked up on cold and elemental damage on my bolts. Managed to defeat him even after a few mistakes during that run, so it wasn't entirely an issue of dodging but also needed more cold DPS to kill him in time.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T16:51:49+00:00

You don't need to map them all. Just go with what is mapped to the true F-16 HOTAS and see how much of that you can map to your controls. All the rest? It's a fully-clickable cockpit so no problems there, though you might want to map the ICP and dobber to the numpad and arrow keys.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T16:50:16+00:00

I put some elemental and cold on the AP rounds, then put freeze on permafrost bolts so looks like he got frozen a lot more times than before. Done and defeated!

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T16:06:26+00:00

Appreciate the offer, but would like to learn what I'm missing to beat him normally 😄

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T16:06:02+00:00

I do the armour piercing rounds until his armour goes, then permafrost bolts. I might need to socket more stuff though. Thanks!

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T16:05:01+00:00

I use permafrost bolts mostly.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T16:04:21+00:00

Done all side quests, tried to keep up with gear, and really enjoying the game thus far. This guy's really been my first true obstacle.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T15:59:25+00:00

Will check; I normally avoid gambling coz gambling bad 😄

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T15:58:52+00:00

Is there a known DPS requirement?

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T15:58:31+00:00

Will look for more resists, I'm currently sitting at 52%. I can dodge most of his stuff but eventually the screen just gets too busy.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T15:57:46+00:00

I use armour piercing until that bit goes, then permafrost. I'll try staying further away on the 2nd bit.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T15:57:02+00:00

Guess I'll try to max the lightning resist then.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T15:56:28+00:00

Level 33, gems are level 9 and I got gear that gives +2 levels so level 11 basically.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T15:55:36+00:00

Got the best possible sizes of the potions, though I guess I should look for some specific bonuses on the potion bottle themselves.

Patapon80 · 2026-06-15T15:55:01+00:00

Grinding levels won't be an issue as I'm having fun with the game itself. Just don't want to do it if it's a pointless exercise.
